7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 39): friendship, slander, and the gratitude meme

— 1 — So it turns out that one of the best things about being on the groom’s side of a wedding is that there’s not a whole lot left to do once you’ve gotten dressed. 🙂 I had the privilege of hanging out with both Steve and Katie at different times on the day…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated.
